Recommendation 1: Each department should develop policy development practice statements that explain the approaches to maintaining the fundamental principles of the proposed policy development. These statements are made public and responsible for permission by the permanent secretary and the Secretary of State. They will be living documents updated as departments develop ways to improve their policy functions. In particular, they will review the department's ability to provide business plans. In addition, the basic principles of policy should be incorporated into civil servant training and be included in "ministerial ordinance".
